The Columbia River yard has floated six ships since No vember 19. 1917. Alf. Smith, president of the Colum bia River Shipbuilding' Corporation, is yet in the .ast in conference witn Emergency Fleet Corporation officials. and more contracts for that yard are expected to be announced. The Oov ernment's plan, evidently, is to take over the capacity of every steel yard and as much more as can be grained through expansion. The expectation Is that every plant in the country will be enlarged if it is possible. In the event adjoining land is not to be had, no doubt the move of the Northwest Steel Company, in laying out a second plant close by, will be followed by some. Portland has a third steel yard in operation, the Albina Engine & Ma chine Works, which is building 2500 ton and 3800-ton ships, and the new steel plant of the G. M. Standifer Con struction Corporation at Vancouver, where 9500-ton vessels will be turned out. The latter could begin fabricating steel at any time now. U-BOATS BEGIN HEW RUTHLESS DRIVE OFFICIALS ARE SCORED LONDON, May 20. The Russian com missioner for foreign affairs. It was made known today, sent the following wireless May 9 to the German foreign office: "In the Turkish advance in Caucasus the peaceful population, including women and children, is being cut down ruthlessly. The treaty we were forced to sign at Brest Litovsk provided that the populations at Ardahan. Kara and Batum should have full freedom and the right to control their destiny in their own way. The event in these regions show that the policy of ex termination which has been followed for the past ten years is still being pursued. "Responsibility for atrocities among the Armenian people in the regions at present occupied by Turkey devolves upon the German government, whose direct assistance makes it possible for Turkey to exercise its will in these regions. Right of People Betrayed. "The people's commissioner for for eign affairs vigorously protests against the betrayal of the right of the popu lations of Ardahan. Kars and Batum to dispose of themselves. "The commissioner insists upon the necessity of speedy and decisive inter vention on the part of Germany in the Caucasus to prevent the continuation of massacre and extermination of the peaceful population which is taking place at Ardahan.

Just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this Is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub It lngently with the fin ger tips. n By morning most, if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much oanarun you may have.
